Flags Flashcards: Learn About Countries and Their Symbols!

How to use this worksheet

Cut out the flashcards together, keeping them in a neat stack. Go through the cards one at a time, naming the country and pointing out distinctive colors or shapes on its flag. Read the fact on each card aloud and pause to talk about anything your child finds interesting. Once you've gone through all the cards, shuffle them and see if your child can name the country just from the flag alone.
